Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We needed a cross-platform mobile app (iOS and Android) for nightlife venue discovery, plus a web-based CMS for venue management.

Key deliverables included: 
- A Flutter mobile app with map-based venue browsing, user profiles, and a custom recommendation algorithm that suggests venues based on user preferences 
- Google Maps integration with live venue locations and filtering
- A web CMS built with Next.js so venue owners can manage their listings, photos, and details - A backend API built with Nest.js to power the recommendation engine and handle all app data 
- Full UI/UX design, including a major redesign mid-project after we tested the first version and wanted changes - App Store and Google Play submission 

The entire project was delivered in 8 weeks from kickoff to launch.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The app was delivered within the 8-week timeline, including a major mid-project design pivot that was handled without any delays or additional costs. Both the iOS and Android versions were published to the app stores on schedule. The custom recommendation algorithm was built and integrated successfully, which was the core feature we needed to validate our product-market fit.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

We had weekly meetings to track progress and discuss next steps. Everything was delivered on time within the 8-week development cycle. 

Halfway through the project, we wanted to redesign a major part of the app after testing the first version. Instead of pushing back or charging extra, the team found the most cost-effective way to make the changes without blowing the budget or timeline. That flexibility made a big difference.

Communication was always clear and responsive. When we had feedback or change requests, they addressed them quickly and kept the project moving forward.

What was your primary form of communication with eclipt.ai?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They genuinely cared about the product, not just completing tasks. When we wanted to change the design mid-project, most teams would have said "that's out of scope" or asked for more money. These guys sat down and figured out how to make it work within the existing budget and timeline. They treated my app like it was their own. 

The recommendation algorithm was another standout. It wasn't a simple feature - it required real engineering to get right. They nailed it, and it became the core of what makes Scene Seek unique.

Are there any areas for improvement or something eclipt.ai could have done differently?

Nothing major. If we had to pick something, it would be nice to have had more detailed documentation at the end of the project for when we eventually handed things off to an in-house team. But honestly, the code was clean and well-organized, so it wasn't a real issue.
